is TWCenter down (again)?

That's because the members here can be trusted to behave themselves in the spirit of the rules, written or unwritten, as opposed to the drama queens and line pushers at TWC.

...and moderators are not hasty to close otherwise viable threads?

...and moderators are not hasty to close otherwise viable threads?

If you're familiar with the Backroom, you'd realise this isn't so, and indeed moderators have much greater leeway here to keep their forums in the right spirit. The main difference is in members' self-restraint, which can be virtually non-existent among the trolling community in TWC. Here, for the most part, there is a consensus to keep oneself to the spirit of the forums, and to accept the axe when it falls. Probably to do with the more mature membership. eg. IIRC the average Orgah was 24 or something in last year's survey, while the Backroom, which is where the political discussion is, has an even greater average age.

Sod this forum discussion anyway, I'm off to the Babe thread.
